Belgian expedition, stationed at JuJewitz
on the Nolga, telegraphs thai the sky
was overcast, but that the solar protuber-
ances and chrOmosphere were observed,

ous drawings and photographs Of the
corona and it, spectrum.

On THE DOCK.
The Attemptt to Raise the DanviIIe Engine.

The Attemptto to Raise the Danville Engine
An effort was made yesterday to raise
the engine which tumbed in the dock on
the evening of August 9th 1t was not
successful In fact, it seems clear that
none of the appliances generally used on
railroad wrecks in this latitude can be
available i'm SO extreme a case as this.
The Dan,ille Company is prepared to
raise wrecks on land, but this sub marine
racket is something new 10 them.
All the goods has long since be removed,
and the channel opened. The engine and
tender are deeply buried In the mud II
is impossible TO drain the water out, as
that would wreck all the vessels in the
dock, so the company has had TO labor
under great difficulty
They will now build piles and make the
effort ''to Jack" the engine out II has
been a very disagreeable job, and It is
hop that their efforts this week will be
more successful.

CHICAGO. August 20.-Lawyer y. IL.
llanchett, who was employed by the

the aldermanic Doodle deals, is quoted this
morning as practically admitting that
Sheridan has not been taken In charge
by officers of the State, but has sold out
to the crooked aldermen against whom
he had agreed to become a witness. Mr.
llanchett said that he had been made
aware that certain aldermen and others
implicated had within the past few days
made up a considerable sum Cf money
for Sheridan in order
ToBUY HIN OFF,
and possibly to send him away to prevent
him from testifying against them. Sheri-
dan had put himself in their way to the
extent of letting them know that he
would otherwise be compelled To furnish
evidence against them. One man, he said,
had come down 10 he tune of over $500.
Others had paid him small sums, and in
this way he had accumulated "A consider
